I called Lynwood 2 minutes before closing as I had a sick fish which required treatment. George the owner of Lynwood Aquatics went above and beyond customer service by staying open after closing to help save my Star and Stripe dogface puffer. Thank you for all your help. I would highly recommend your services.

We went to Lynwood today after seeing it was one of the largest and a has a lot of varieties of fish - the shop is lovely and the service is very good & attentive! The fish seem happy and clean - we go to a lot of aquariums over the weekends and this has to be one of my favourites the shop is quirky and interesting to have a look around and Lilly… the gourami is massive and something you have to go and see. We ended up buying a beautiful hybrid terror/cichlid he is so colourful and was well worth a long drive to just visit the shop :)! Thank you for a good visit and experience. X
